Let's Bake Sew Along...A Little Bit More About Cutting!!

Well hi there!

We are EXACTLY one week away 

from the start of the 

Let's Bake Sew Along

using my latest collection

Bake Sale 2!

For those of you who 

have your kits...YaY!

I hope you've been having fun

 playing with all of the prints...

And getting them all cut and 

into your labeled block bags:)

If you missed last weeks post about

 how to join, about the kits, 

about the supplies needed and cutting...

CLICK HERE 

and check it out!

Today I want to talk to you about

 cutting and marking

 a few pieces of the 

Sew- In Interfacing

There are a few pieces in

 some of the blocks 

that we will be marking directly

 onto the Sew-In Interfacing 

instead of using the 

Sew Simple Shapes

These shapes are various sizes

 of rectangles and are easily marked 

using a pencil and a ruler:)

The first rectangle is for the

Rolling Pin block.

Mark a 1 1/2" x 8" rectangle 

onto the interfacing and 

cut a 1/4" seam allowance around it:)

Next is for the Cocoa block...

and the Milk Bottle block.

Trace a 2" x 3" rectangle 

and a 

2 1/4" x 5 1/4" rectangle.

Cut a 1/4" seam allowance 

around both.

For the Cannisters block trace a

 3" x 4 1/4"

 and a 

3 1/2" x 5" 

rectangle.

Cut a 1/4" seam allowance 

around both.

For the Layer Cake block

 trace a 1 1/2" x 4" 

and a 

2" x 5 1/2" 

rectangle.

Cut a 1/4" seam allowance 

around both.

All of these rectangles 

of course have a 

coordinating fabric piece 

to go with them.

The yellow eggbeater print 

that goes with the larger rectangle

 should have a 2 1/2" x 6" piece cut.

If you haven't cut that piece...

do it now and add it to your 

Layer Cake block bag:)

The last rectangle to trace 

onto the interfacing is a

 5" x 7" 

for the dishtowel hanging 

over the oven door 

in the Stove block.

I had you cut the red gingham 

for that 6" x 8" 

just to give you a 

little more room 

to center the gingham 

exactly where you want it 

because the gingham on both sides

 and also along the bottom 

will need to be centered when sewing 

because of the Chicken Scratch 

stitching we will be doing there.

*FYI*

If you participated in my 

Sweetie Pie Sew Along

you will remember this 

Quilty Zip Pocket 

 that I made to hold my 

Fruit Salad Sew Simple Shapes:)

I just wanted to let you know

 that the Let's Bake ones

 fit inside perfectly as well...

just in case you want to 

whip another one up!

for the tutorial:)

I also did a tutorial for my 

Quilty Zip Bag 

using my Calico Day's Fabric and

 BLOOM Sew Simple Shapes...

and is modeled by my 

cutie pie grand daughter Sophie:)

This one will work 

just as well to hold the 

Let's Bake Sew Simple Shapes.

I'll meet you here next week 

for the kick off...

I'm sew excited!!
